Name: Lourdes Demarche
Age: 20
Family: Natalie Lavoie (Mother, deceased), Phillipe Demarche (father, deceased), Evangeline Lavoie (half-sister, deceased), Robin Lavoie (neice).
Background: Lourdes Demarche was a mistake. During a heated affair with a fellow European MI agent, Natalie Lavoie became pregnant at an age where most women rarely do. This was at a time when her only daughter had just gotten married and her career was at a high point. Natalie was no longer the caring mother she had been to Evangeline. Her bitterness consumed her, and although she no longer wanted children, she still decided to give birth to Lourdes.
Phillipe had found out that Natalie was planning on giving away the child. He asked for custody of his daughter, but instead got a shot to the head. She was embarassed and ashamed of the newborn. When she gave her away, she unknowingly put Lourdes into the hands of the Collective. She grew up training to be an agent for the Collective, in a cell that had adopted her into their own. They weren't cruel, but they were not kind either. As she grew up, she slowly learned about her mother and what happened to her father. Bitterness consumed her, and she took her father's last name in order to protect her identity.
The small Collective cell she was a part of was never caught by the MI after the fall of their organization. They became nomadic, fighting their way to survival. Lourdes however, detatched from them and contacted an MI7 agent who was hot on their trail. She had the group arrested in order to protect herself from being arrested. This was three years ago, and so the MI decided to put her in protective custody at the Academy.
Since then, she has kept to herself and had managed to put herself into the Trainee Program. She still holds a great deal of secrets, and her reasons for turning in the only family she knew are still unknown.
She is aware that she had a sister, and not too aware that she has a neice. She knows there is a Lavoie here at the school, but hasn't put much thought past it. Loudes has no way of knowing who her parents are, and isn't about to ask Robin. Family isn't of any great importance to her.
Lourdes is fluent in French, her first language. She know English as a second, and some Spanish from a length of time that she spent in Spain as a teenager. Her personality is abrasive. She will never make friends easily, if she even makes them at all.
